both remain in the race. mitt romney declared himself victorious in his speech to his supporters in tampa. >> you know, three years ago this week a nearly a elected president obama faced the american people. he said, if i cannot attend this economy a round in three years i will be looking at a 110 position. we are here to collect. -- a one-term position. we are here to collect. [applause] it has been 35 months of unemployment above 8%. more americans have lost their jobs than under the administration of any other president in history. in the last 10 days, i met with a father who was terrified that this would be the last night his family would be able to sleep in the only home his son has none. i have met seniors who thought these would be the best years of their life. they are worried about had to make ends meet. i met under the doors -- the bang -- entrepeuneurs who are saying the american dream disappear. the president said, let's remember how we got here. we remember how we got here, you won the election.

hodo you do both of those? >> i think it shows a change in the basic assumption of the race on the part of the romney folks. they had been run ago race that would be a referendum on president obama in which president obama would be found wanting. therefore his challenger would win. that has not i think been sufficient. it's become more of a choice election. that reflects a success by the obama folks in raising questions about governor romney. so he is now forced to make a stronger case for himself. and the problem with coming out with specifics, whether it's on economic policy or foreign policy, is that it gives more for your critics to pick at and criticize as well as giving americans a better sense of what you do in office. >> ifill: so we can assume that the people in chicago, the obama folks are just kicked back, happy about this, got it in the bag, right? >> not quite. . although i think they feel... clearly they feel better than they did before the conventions. i think their belief is they have now a more
